His rapport with hardened criminals was forged during his youth on the mean streets of Glasgow where he ran with the gangs joyriding & stealing. But when his friends began disappearing into borstals Corbett decided it was time to take himself in hand & followed his father into the police force. His ability to mingle with gangsters was soon identified as an asset & after serving time in the CID
- where he was involved in investigating the murder of Arthur Thompson Junior the son of Glasgow's Godfather
- he became an undercover agent with the Crime Squad. He trained in urban & rural surveillance & invented a fictional past for himself. Like Donnie Brasco the legendary US cop who won the trust of the Mafia Corbett risked his life every day: one false move & his cover would have been blown. The pinnacle of his career was an operation in the former pit town of Blyth where there had been 15 drug-related deaths in 12 months. Leaving his wife & family he spent five months undercover wired up winning the confidence of the dealers & had to cope with having his life endangered by a corrupt officer. Corbett's work led to 31 convictions & commendations from the Chief Constable & a Crown Court Judge but without any form of counselling the stress took its toll & he was forced into early retirement.

In this elegant & impassioned synthesis from one of the world's leading experts on Africa & poverty economist Paul Collier writes persuasively that although nearly five billion of the world's people are beginning to climb from desperate poverty & to benefit from globalization's reach to developing countries there is a bottom billion" of the world's poor whose countries largely immune to the forces of global economy are falling farther behind & are in danger of falling apart separating permanently & tragically from the rest of the world. Collier identifies & explains the four traps that prevent the homelands of the world's billion poorest people from growing & receiving the benefits of globalization
- civil war the discovery & export of natural resources in otherwise unstable economies being landlocked & therefore unable to participate in the global economy without great cost & finally ineffective governance. As he demonstrates that these billion people are quite likely in danger of being irretrievably left behind Collier argues that we cannot take a "headless heart" approach to these seemingly intractable problems; rather that we must harness our despair & our moral outrage at these inequities to a reasoned & thorough understanding of the complex & interconnected problems that the world's poorest people face."
